Are All Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 Routers Cable Modems?
I am buying a used Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 for home WiFi and as a cable modem for Charter Spectrum . Should all AC1900 R7000 routers work as Spectrum cable modems as well?

All R series routers are just routers only. There is no modem built in. If you need a router with a built in modem, then any C series modem will have both a cable modem and router all in one unit for Cable ISP services. If your on DSL, then any D series modem will have both a DSL modem and router all in one unit for DSL ISP services.
Please refer to the ISP for what is officially supported on there network before you buy.

Thanks! Just what I needed. I wish such clarity was on the website as we were searching for the right piece of equipment.
I’m trying to find a cable modem with WiFi for a weekend house similar to the C6300-BD I use in my home, fit your website doesn’t make it easy.
